The top 5 TDF finishers of last year are now out of the tour:
Armstrong - retired Basso - Alleged Fuentes client Ullrich - Alleged Fuentes client Mancebo - Alleged Fuentes client Vino - Not enough team left after 5 mates alleged Fuentes clients
The next highest finisher is now Levi. What a day huh.
Hinault thinks the list will grow to 20 riders ejected from the tour. Bruyneel says they will not replace ejected riders as it would not be fair for teams who have riders ejected after the start of the tour. This indicates that the 21 DSs think there will be further riders ejected after the tour start as well.
